Ground from cassava root, gluten-free tapioca starch flour adds a pleasantly crisp texture to the crust of gluten-free breads, and body to their interior. In muffins and cookies, it adds structure without the grittiness so often associated with gluten-free baking. This is the perfect choice for your gluten-free recipes calling for tapioca starch flour. Tapioca flour, also known as tapioca starch, is a starchy white flour that has a slight sweet flavor to it. Tapioca flour is an alternative to traditional wheat flours and has a variety of uses in baking. The flour is made from the starch extracted from the South American cassava plant. When the roots have fully developed, they are harvested and processed to remove toxins. The starch is then extracted from the root by a repeated process of washing and pulping the mixture, then separating off the liquid. Tapioca flour helps bind gluten free recipes and improves the texture of baked goods. Tapioca helps add crispness to crusts and chew to baked goods. Tapioca flour is an extremely smooth flour, which makes for a great thickener in sauces, pies and soups since it never discolors and contains no discernible taste or smell. It can also be used to replace corn starch (use 2 Tbsp tapioca flour for each 1 Tbsp corn starch). Moreover, it never coagulates or separates when refrigerated or frozen. Use in combination with other gluten free flours for best results.

I can't speak for the flavor, but it is amazing as a dry shampoo. If you look at all high end dry shampoos (powder not spray) they with have tapioca or corn starch and one of the main ingredients (Bb Pret-a-powder is a great example of this). I keep it in my purse in a tight travel shaker that you would use for seasoning. If i'm looking a little oily I do a few shakes, ruffle my hair,run a comb though and i'm good to go. Pret-a-powder is $14/1oz while this is $0.36/oz so this is a great deal that is shiped right to my door. I did lose quite a bit in shipping because the bag broke but other than that its grate.
Paying 3x the price of a small Asian market for the convenience. The product is fine, well sealed, but will not purchase again now that I found a small market ten minutes away that sells it for less than $2.
I purchased this to use when making body butter. It works just as I hoped it would. Tapioca starch cuts down on the greasy feeling of the oils and adds a nice silky texture. This little bag goes a long way. I only use 2 tbsp per pound of oils/butters.
